EY RETURNS FROM CONFERENCE
Professor Jenabe Fazel, Persion philosopher and lecturer formerly of King’s Mother College at Tiberan. addressed the Tuesday morning assembly.
As an advocate of the new social and religious philosophy which is stirring the East to its very foundations, ProfessorFazel expressed a desire that universal brotherhood, universal peace and the abolition of all prejudices in religion, education aud economic relations between the countries of the world, might soon be realized.
Thru periods ol; Persion history, according to Professor Fazel, were the ancient, in which civilization was interested mainly in spiritual and intellectual phases of life, lasted up until three hundred years ago. The next age which began at that time was one of war and philosophy.
Modern Persia, the last great period, is now experiencing marked changes of four kinds.
Professor Fazel named them in the following order:
1—Following the revolution of 1907, there came a change in the government. It is now like that of England, having a parliament aud a constitutional cabinet.
2—Educational changes are making rapid strides.. Persia now has regular grade schools, high schools, and universities.
3—“The modern women’s movement,” is for the purpose of bettering the educational privileges of the women of Persia. It is hoped that soon, girls and women may be able to discard their veils.
1—On speaking of religions, Professor Fazel said. “They all realize that they are the children of one God and hope to be able to establish a great modern civilization. They are being educated to live in unity and har-mony.’’
In closing Professor Fazel said, "We want perfect love like different members of a single family.”
Special music was arranged by Professor Coggswell of the College of Music, who presented Miss Feme Fitzwater .soprano, in a group of songs suitable to the occasion. Miss Fitzwater was accompanied by Miss Alice Kay.
Dean Bruce Baxter read from the fourth chapter of John and spoke briefly on his text.

So-called unlucky dates hold no terror for the senior class.

Three candidates have declared their intention of entering the race for presidency of ihe A. S. U. S. C. It hat-been said that each of the men might justly lay claim to the slogan “The Due to being held on a i logical man for the office.” Don Cam-

TROJAN KNIGHTS
All members of Trojan Knights are urged by Burk Ixrag, president, to be present at a dinner and meeting at the Delta Mu Phi house. Portland Place, tonight at 6:30.
BIOLOGY HONOR’SOCIETY TO HOLD PICNIC FRIDAY
In the light of a full moon, hushed by the silent waves of the ocean as it quietly splashes upon a beautitul sand-polished beach, far away from the helter and skelter of the busy city, or the tiresome campus, is the scene of the happy hunting grounds of the Biology Honor Society. The jaunt to this superb location for the annual outing starts Friday afternoon at 5:00 o’clock.
The festival takes place at the cottage of Prof. Ulrey, head of the Biology departent, near Manhattan Bead;. The evening will feature a grunion hunt, and according to Ashton Gray-biel. president of the organization, the catch will be carried home in two one-ton trucks, the services of which are being solicited. With a full moon and at the seashore, fifteen initiates will nervously await the dreadful ceremonies.
In order to help enliven the activities, the Biology club has invited the Alchemist Society to be the guests of the evening. Already accepting the invitation, Charlie Mayer, Clarence Wilson, Sam Sohger, and LeRoy Black, prominent Alchemists, have voiced their intentions of aiding the Biologists in making it a hot time for the pledges.
Other attractions include a moonlight swim in the ocean. All are urged to bring bathing suits. Phil Sampson will bring his radio. He has already promised the merrymakers a treat, in the form of extra fine radio music. Coffee and barbacued grunions, or rather weiners will be partaken of to satisfy a hungry appetitte after the hunt.
The club will meet Friday in the Biology lecture room located in Room 250 O. C. Students with machines are requested to notify Gaybriel as to the number they can take.
ENGINEER’S HERO LEADING CONTEST
Harry Loemke Forges to Front in Trojan Chariot Driver Ballotting
Harry Loemke, well-knowrn hero of the engineering students, has forged into the leading place as a result of the most recent tabulation of votes in the Daily Trojan contest to select the fivt most popular campus men to drive the chariots in the annual May Day festival to be held at Southern California, May 15. In fact it has been said by those in charge of the campaign that May Day will be a big day for the engineers with Loemke far in the lead, and Burdette Ives, another future bridge-builder, giving Revelle Harrison a race for second place.
After counting votes late yesterday afternoon the following list of leaders was made known: Harry Loemke, 548; Revelle Harrison, 42<j; Burdette Ives, 396; George Orme, 398; Marquis Busby, 363; Paul Hathaway, 257; Ned Lewis, 254; Arnold Eddy, 233; Gwyn Wilson, 221; Leighton Dye, 128; Al Chase, 125; Lewis Green, 97.
Campus fraternities are backing chosen candidates, while each sorority has a hero who receives all the votes it can cut from the Trojan. These men will appear in regulation Roman toga, sandals, and whatever else was worn by the well-dressed youth of that day. It has been made known, however, that different colored ribbons will be worn for head-bands to distinguish the men during the iace. Although nothing definite could be learned, a feminine member of the May Day committee was of the impression that pastel colors would be chosen for the blonde characters while brighter colors would be given the brunettes.
FRIENDS WORKING
Much surprise was evidenced on the campus when it was learned that Ned Lewis had dropped from first to seventh in the contest. His friends, however, have doubled their efforts to gain the student body president a place in the race. George Orme’s backers are also said to be working to place their candidate at the top of the list again.
Leading members of lx)s Angeles society wili serve as patrons and patronesses of the day, and the affair promises to be an outstanding social event of the month.
While the charioteer contest is probably attracting most attention on the campus at the present time, many more events are on the program of the day. Mrs. Alice Pike Barney has (CONTINUED ON PAGE EIGHT)
eron, rally chairman during the past year, member of Phi Kappa Tau; Bob Green, manager of football, Sigma Chi and Burke Long, manager of basketball and president of the Trojan Knights, Zeta Kappa Epsilon, are the three presidential candidates.
Two girls are in the race for the vice-presidency and social chairmanship. Marjorie Rice and Evalyne Ross, both prominent in junior class activities, and in the Trojan Amazons, are the two candidates for the office thue far. Miss Rice is a Delta Gamma and Miss Rose a member of Pi Beta Phi.
The right to keep the minutes of the executive committee is being sought by Dorothy Davis and Gladys Lee.
For the first time in several years there are three men seeking the honor of making the nightly irek to the printers to edit the Daily Trojan. Lee Conti, Trojan sport editor and assistant manager of baseball; Ralph Holly, (Continued on Page Eight)
BACHELOR LUNCH TODAY
Plans for the Bachelor program over K. H. J. tonight and the annual Bachelor Brawl to be held next week will be completed at the luncheon of the club this noon at the Cozy Den Cafe, according to Carleton Moorehouse, president. All present members art urged to be present to get instructions to pass on to proposed members of tbe organization.

Women Will Entertain Mothers at Y. W. C. A. Tomorrow Afternoon
Although today is Mother’s Day for the men on the campus, the women are waiting until tomorrow to celebrate this occasion, and will entertain their mothers under the auspices of the Y. W. C. A.
“In spite of the fact that we are following up the men in our celebration, we expect to make it every bit as successful as theirs,” said Miss Margaret Burke, who is in charge of festivities. “We want every girl who can to bring her mother or a substitute to the campus tomorrow', and we'll do the rest.”
The Y. W. C. A. is giving over their regular five o’clock Thursday meeting at the lodge to the observance of Mothers’ Day. The events will begin at five with dinner for the girls and their mothers; tickets for the dinner are on sale for seventy-five cents for the two, and may be purchased at th*-Y. W. Lodge.
